What's your favourite memory of our time together?

For me, it isn’t just one moment, but all the moments we have built together. Every memory is special, from our holidays and shopping sprees to our Muay Thai sessions, especially after losing your older brother Zen. They have kept us connected and strong. The fact that we share so many common interests makes our bond even more precious to me.

What do you enjoy most about Muay Thai?
